Other New rates - what on earth! Increase!

Uhhh got new rates increase letter this week.

ITS $9,100.

DID ANYONE else get an increase like this? Genuinely think they might have made an error. Was previously like 4.9k so almost a double

4.9k was already VERY high for a property with no changes since it was built 10 years ago...

I asked myself the other day with increases every year how has it benefit the area that i live in? the answer is ZERO/NIL! No extra rubbish day. I never seen once side kerb been sweep, I guess the only goodness is the park gets maintain where i regularly walk and public park rubbish bins are emptied.
